Tiles: Well, as my name would suggest I’m the last of my line..
Tiles: I took up my family’s name to carry their legacy, protect others and avenge them.
Tiles: Gallows found me in rough shape a few nights ago.. Bit off more than I can chew and the crown sought to make an example out of me and my companions at the time. My gear’s still busted from the event…
Tiles: At this point I’m left working with what I have..
Tiles: Being alongside Gallows and Courier has done a lot to help me get back on my feet. I can only hope to repay them as I work with them..
Motley: Well, you're in good hands.
Motley: Gallows and I met on a chance encounter, followed by a pleasant evening...
Motley: But since then, we not only have our time as partners, but as comrades in the fight against the crown!
Motley: A friend of his is a friend of mine, especially if they're helping on our quest.
Gallows: Aye.
The rabbit turns to look at you.
Gallows: I know you've got your own goals but I hope you stick around a good while, someone like you would do a ton for us.
Courier: Every person matters in the effort even if it seems like the impact we're making is small right now.
Tiles: Absolutely. I have plenty of plans of my own but at least for now having a group to support me...
Tiles: It's something I've missed...
Tiles: The loss of my guild has made life lonely to be blunt.
Motley: Consider our ragtag group a new home, then!
Motley: I'm not around a whole lot, but I'll make sure to swing by and make sure you're settling in.
Motley: And if you're ever in Cups, hit me up. That's my town.
Motley: Are we getting moving, then?
Gallows: Mm, we have someone to pick up before we finish our venture here. Someone who could be a massive ally in the effort...
Courier: You never did explain, when were you told of this? Starman never said anything to me...
Gallows: I have my methods. Now follow me...
You can't help but raise a brow at how much this rabbit is keeping hidden from everyone but you're braced for anything. You certainly feel stronger after your spar earlier.
This world is doing something to you for certain.
He stops at a house and signals for everyone to stop.
Gallows: You all ready? You're about to meet our secret weapon...
Gallows: Motley, you mind watching the door for a sec?
Motley: No prob at all, sweetheart!
She leans against the wall, tapping her sceptre against her shoulder.
Motley: I'll hang tight.
The rabbit gives her a smile.
Gallows: Appreciated, signal if anything goes screwy.
Motley: You got it!
She blows a kiss for emphasis.
Gallows returns the gesture before knocking on the door.
A voice like soft gravel speaks up from the other side.
???: Are you the delivery man?
Gallows: Just a passing wanderer looking for a cup of flour.
???: How many?
Gallows: Three, plus a watchman outside.
???: Come on in…
The door creaks open, Gallows leads you inside. You file in one at a time.
You can hear a kettle heating up tea. The scent of lavender fills the room from the scented candles. It’s cozy….
There’s a reflection much like Yours and Eddie from earlier settled in, a distinct shyness in her posture and tone.
???: You actually came..
Gallows: As promised, couldn’t help but sympathize with your particular position.
???: Mm, thank you.. You’re certain you’re okay with helping me?
Her form flickers.
Gallows: Of course, just need you to fill these two in.
???: Simple enough.
She turns her attention toward you, cheeks immediately turning bright.
???: A knight? A rather well dressed one at that… I wasn’t anticipating you’d go this far for me…
???: Would you like a bit of tea? It’s nothing special but..
Her form seems to keep destabilizing.
???: Ah, this is embarrassing. I'm sorry....
